So had some fly-eye tint on the headlights, which now need cleaning, so i was thinking other than de-tangoing is there anything else that i could do with them? Have seen the fibre glass or carbon fibre headlight covers, anyone tried these before ?

There's a company called headlight retrofits that have done some cool stuff, not so much the multi-coloured lights but they can do pretty much anything with the lights.

There's also the projector lights:

De-tango and black headlight mod always looks a treat on a blob.

Here's one I did a few years back for a pal..

@MattyB1983 how do u go about de-tango'ing the headlights? also any idea where the lower grill came from?

Agree the black mod is only the ones I'd do, did mine a while back.
The rest look too gypsy

I've also done the black insert mod. Lots of right-ups if you do a search on here/Google.

Basically stick the headlight unit in the oven on low temp for a few minutes checking regularly for bits melting. Then when hot enough the headlight will split, take the insert out and paint. Then reheat and reseal the lights.

Some advise using a sealant when resealing, I didn't and my lights are still fine after 2+ years.

Leave as Subaru intended.

Headlight lens 'b@stardisation' is utter ****, IMO. (With the sole exception of de-tangoing, as necessary).

de-tango the way to go!,(silver/tec bulbs for indicators). other stick on bits look very tacky

I done this on my Evo, However those lights didn't fit in my oven so what I done was put the light in a cardboard box cut a hole for the hair dryer and just put the front part in then let it warm it up for about 10 minutes the lens pulled of fairly easily, re-sealing it up was in reverse but one always seemed to condensate up ever after.

must admit the black inserts looks much better than the silver.

so it looks like some guys paint the inner reflective part?

is that matt or gloss paint?

I used Matt black. Didn't use a primer either as the space is closed to the elements, still fine now.
